Abstract

Uncertain security threats caused by vulnerabilities and backdoors are the most serious and difficult problem in cyberspace. This paper analyzes the philosophical and technical causes of the existence of so-called “dark functions” such as system vulnerabilities and backdoors, and points out that endogenous security problems cannot be completely eliminated at the theoretical and engineering levels; rather, it is necessary to develop or utilize the endogenous security functions of the system architecture itself. In addition, this paper gives a definition for and lists the main technical characteristics of endogenous safety and security in cyberspace, introduces endogenous security mechanisms and characteristics based on dynamic heterogeneous redundancy (DHR) architecture, and describes the theoretical implications of a coding channel based on DHR.
